Spoopy Unboxing Fridays #1

Hello guys! A few weeks ago now I came across the latest edition of Pusheen the Cat blind boxes whilst scrolling through facebook. They were Halloween-themed and absolutely gorgeous! I kept my eye out on youtube for the next few days waiting for these new boxes to appear on the channel of one of my favourite toy reviewers, and finally the wonderful PSToyReviews shared an unboxing! Once I'd seen the individual plushies inside the Pusheen Halloween Surprise Plush boxes, I had a mighty need to get some of my own! Whilst browsing around looking for a UK supplier, I was inspired with an idea! I thought it would be awesome to share a weekly series on my blog over October (aka everyday is Halloween month!) unboxing a variety of cute and spooky themed blind boxes. A combination of two of my favourite things, Halloween and collectables! I have been super excited about getting these posts started, so here's my first edition :) I hope that you all enjoy these posts, and be sure to check back every Friday this month for more! 

I can't believe to be honest that it's taken me this long to get myself some of the Pusheen Surprise Plush boxes by Gund! There's so many different kinds and I've been in love with every one I've seen on unboxing videos (watching these videos takes up about 50% of my life; not even sorry!). I've just never seen them around on the collectable online stores that I frequent and so ordering some just sliped my mind I guess. Pusheen is such an adorable character and I'm slightly obsessed, so it's about bloody time really that I ordered one! Are you a fan of Pusheen? Have you ever bought a Pusheen blind box?

There are eight plush keyrings available to collect in these lovely surprise boxes! One of these is a mystery plush, which makes things even more exciting when you're opening blind boxes! Something that's a little different about the particular boxes that I ordered is that the keyring is different to the plushies I've seen on the unboxing videos I've watched. They all seem to have those keychains made up of little metal balls, if that makes sense haha! I'm really glad though that mine have a clip style keyring because I prefer these, as they are more secure and less likely to come off my bag. 

How gorgeous is the selection of plushies inside these boxes!? I would be happy to receive any of them, however my favourite is the original Pusheen sitting in the Jack-O-Lantern, closely followed by the Frankenstein kitty. I'd love to hear which one you'd most like to get inside your blind box in the comments! 

Something that's wonderful about these blind boxes is how well they are decorated, with the most adorable illustrations! I'm lovin' the Pusheen haunted house. It's the only haunted house I'd happily be trapped in! So now it's time to reveal the plushies that I found inside my boxes. I ordered two surprise boxes from a UK online store called ThreeLittleBears. They cost £6.95 each, which seems pretty pricey but the quality and design of the plush keyrings makes up for it in my opinion! Keep scrolling to see the lastest editions to my Pusheen merch collection...

Here's the plush that I got inside the first blind box I opened; it's the cutest little bat-cat ever! If you've been following my blog for some time, you may have seen my Pusheen Box subscription posts and remember my Autumn box? If not, you can find it here. Anyhow, inside each of these quartly subscription boxes you get an exclusive vinyl figure which matches the theme of the box. Since Halloween is in Autumn, the figure was designed as a Pusheen bat, and it looks almost identical to this plushie! 

I love the shade of purple they've used for this plush keyring, it's mauve i think? It's such a well-sewn, fabulous quality item and I'm certainly impressed. Something that I was curious to discover for myself was how soft the material would be, since almost every youtuber I've seen reviewing them has commented on how lovely they feel! I can definitely agree now that I've held one myself. They feel so velvety! Now onto the final plush...

Well I didn't get any of the keyrings that I really wanted, but I'm so happy with this next Pusheen! Seriously, how adorable is this little guy!? Pusheen looks like she's trying to copy off her humans and attempt to dress up for Halloween, with the way this mummy character is designed. So sweet! I like how the material used for the bandages is different to the one used for the plushie themselves as it's a nice contrast. I love the simplicity of the overall apperance of this plushie too, and the fact that Pusheen herself is the original grey colour :) It's such a pretty grey shade as well. 

Another feature of these plush keyrings that I adore is their whiskers, that they are not just printed/stitched on. An additional thing that makes these products feel such a great quality is how sturdy the clip keyring is and how well it's attached to the plush. I can tell it would take a lot to detach and that makes me feel safer about putting it onto my bags without the fear of losing it when I'm out and about! Below is a closer look at the keyring...

I am very much delighted with my new spoopy Pusheen keyrings; I can't wait to adorn my bags with them and show them off! They are really cute and have such lovely, unique designs and have definitely encouraged me to buy more from the Gund surprise plush range, who sell a lot of adorable well-known characters such as Grumpy Cat and Boo the Pomeranian. It's the nature of blind boxes that you don't always get the ones you wanted, but the Series 4 Halloween Pusheen range is wonderful and so I can't really be disappointed with the ones I did receive. 

These plushies are quite literally the definition of spoopy, which if you haven't heard of the term before reading my post relates to a meme and has been coined to describe anything that is funny and spooky, or cute and spooky, all at once. I thought Spoopy Unboxing would be the perfect way to describe the unveiling of the blind boxed goodies that I am going to be showcasing and reviewing for the next four weeks (although I can see myself falling in love so much that I can't resist trying to complete the collections). I'll end this post with a photograph of my Halloween cuties together. 

Thankyou for reading!

What's your favourite iconic Halloween 'character'? 

Mine has to be witches and bats! 

Am I a bad influence & have now made you want to get some cuties like these for yourself?
